Hi ya guys went and viewed this today the seller claims it was resorted a couple of years ago firstly the engine bay got massive signs of rust and rot the rear inner quarters are rotten. The dash is all loses underneaths has had it with lots of holes who ever painted it was blind. As its got lots of orange peal lack of quality only thing nice about it is the leather interior. Also no service history just a lie just another bodged sport be aware!!!!!!!!

The seller missed a trick there, should written "Barn Find" in the add, then it would have been worth £6k! "Note: the car has not been washed or cleaned in the pics. The pictures do not do this car any justice." Then wash it, before taking the pictures!!!!!

There's a few people in Birmingham that really take the biscuit and give it a bad name lol. I personally don't give a toss who the seller is as long as the car is good and seller isn't hiding anything that's fine.
I have travelled over 150 sometimes 200 miles to view cars in the past and 9 out of 10 the car is as described, however you do get that odd one dime bag type seller who thinks he will shift his 1 lady owner/fsh etc car on to some poor sod. Worst place ever is Liverpool I thinks had some bad experience over that way especially with cars.
Back to this tech 2 I'm pretty sure it was on ebay up north maybe Newcastle ways a few weeks ago maybe months lol.
I did call up for it and the seller was honest about it saying the usual its been restored around 2 years ago but there is some rust on the roof and could do with tidying up. Think he wanted aroung 2800 for it.

I can't stand people who sit on here and cry like bitches...if you feel hard done by tell them to their face I do and if your lucky you might get fuel costs back...but don't sit on the forums and chat a load of beans saying car was this and that..if you want concourse condition cars trust me you won't be paying 3 4k for an e30 more towards the higher mark...I've travelled to Scotland and back and cars have turned out sheds ,what can you do one of those things yh you maybe pissed off but shit hapens..not like you was forced to buy the dam car...and people who thinks brum got a bad reputation of sheds on wheels think again...

So, the OP goes to view a car.
Discovers that all is not as advertised.
Gives what is, hopefully, an honest opinion to warn
other would be viewers on here...... and you have
a problem with that?
I take it that, after driving however many miles to view
a silk purse of an E30, that turns out to be a Pigs ear, that
you would just keep stumm.
After berating the seller, of course.

Clear as mud me old china.
Brum, Liverpool and even N.I get a mention, but London?
Nope, not a sniff.
Anyone with an iota of grey matter ,knows sheds are not
specific to Brum, High Wycombe, Luton, or anywhere else for that matter.

Pony made not mention of location.
The start of the thread was about a turd of a sport for sale, again no mention of location in the initial
post. Pony mearly stated "if you want to see a cream puff" ie a nice car, check out the 320i I have.
It was not until dan mentioned brum and out of no where you mentioned London was any there any reference to location.
I agree, there is plenty of shit in London, Birmingham and all of the UK.
Nice cars are rare!

One thing for certain, if you want a nice Tranny, you have to come to Laaandan tan , they are rough as f000k in Brum and we won't even talk about what you will see on the streets/ carparks of Solihull !

Surely the only time to take into consideration the location of a car for sale is if it's very close to the sea?
